Paschen-Back effect
the Paschen-Back effect is the splitting of atomic energy levels in the presence of a strong magnetic field. This occurs when an external magnetic field is sufficiently large to disrupt the coupling between orbital and spin angular momenta. This effect is the strong field generalization of the Zeeman effect.

Razin effect
The presence of a thermal plasma in the emitting region means that the refractive index of the medium is less than unity and the phase velocity of electromagnetic waves is greater than $c$. As a result, synchrotron radiation is suppressed at frequencies where the refractive index becomes significantly less than 1. This is often called Tsytovich-Razin effect. The consequence is a low-frequency cutoff near
\begin{displaymath} \rm { {\nu_{R}} = {{4 c n e} \over {3 B_{\bot}}} = {{2\nu_{p... ... \nu_{0}}} \sim {{2 \times 10^{-5} n} \over {B_{\bot}}} MHz} \end{displaymath}
